Moving from a family home in a suburb into the city =/= moving from a family home into a block of flats on the same street. The latter is what I am calling a 'strict downgrade'.

This is all cost-based argumentation. If you own a family home with a garden you've already solved that. Maintenance costs in London are utterly trivial.
- hrktb 8y agoI think it’s a matter of getting what you pay for. That’s why I see it mainly as a matter of cost. A middle level appartment goes roughly for the same price as a low tier house where I live. There is a healthy market for good apartments in the suburbs, it’s just not a cheap choice (but way less expensive as a dame tier house in the same locations) I am not swimming in money, so I also understand people who already own expensive properties will have different priorities.
